Clinical Research Networks in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Health and Social Care (HSC) R&D Office has established the Northern Ireland Clinical Research Network (NICRN) to provide research infrastructure as part of the UKCRN.

This managed, comprehensive network has a coordinating centre based at the Belfast Royal Hospitals site and comprises nine NICRN areas of interest.

The NICRN areas of interest are:

The NICRN maintains a portfolio of network studies and assists with processes involved in setting up a study.
